hi there I was working with one of my servers that has directadmin and I mistakenly typed "chsh" instead "chsh [user]" as root... since my intention was to disable shell, I set the "users" shell to /sbin/nologin, which actually setted the root's shell to it so now I can't login as root anymore...

hello I have a PHP (could be Perl) script that needs to be executed as root. Yep, I know I probably shouldn't do that, but that's the only solution I found (it's a server administration tool). I'm planning to use a one-time-password + SSL as security, but the only options I could think are: 1)...

hello is there a good reason for not using FreeBSD ports when installing/upgrading some programs when they're available in this form and don't interact directly with DirectAmin (specially automake/autoconf/libtool/freetype/pcre)? thanks

I noticed some E-mails are returning with this error message when sent to a piping redirect: 2009-02-04 13:10:51 1LUjOt-000667-Fz => |/home/ZZZZZ/public_html/ZZZZZ/PostMaster.pl ([email protected]) <[email protected]> F=<[email protected]> R=drop_solo_alias T=devnull S=0 2009-02-04 13:11:23...

I think it would be nice if there were an option to allow suspended accounts (specially by bandwidth usage) to still login to DirectAdmin, maybe with restricted access for example, it may be important for the user to check their bandwidth usage in case the account has been suspended for this reason

hello I already know http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=64 / http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=487 , but I believe it would be a good idea if DA came with a better "service down checker" ( I mean, a service checker that waits for a banner/ok on SMTP/POP3 for example (maybe using...

I think it would be nice if, in case we remove the MX from a domain from the own server (common with people wanting to use google apps), this domain got removed from local_domains, so Exim would check the real MX when mail is sent by the server

I think it would be nice to add an "advanced DNS zone editor" on directadmin (ie, a button that changes from the default editor, with the editbox and so one, to a textarea) there could be some validation (parsing the textarea content) before reloading named

hello I have a few questions about how httpd.conf changes are handled 1) will /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ever be replaced (I read somewhere in the help.directadmin.com that it wouldn't, but I'm almost sure it was after I recompile apache 2.2 with custombuild - although a backup was done) if it...

http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17362 I though it would be solved by now without the need of additional configuration (I think a simple solution would be do not use index files when can't create them... at least things would work) anyway, if it really isn't, anyone tried the...

hello there's a growing demand for users wanting to set their domains MX records to gmail's ones any ideas on how to make it easy for users and compatible with DA updates? maybe on the mail management adding a link to an external script that would do that? thanks

hello I'm interested on someone to the migration of my domains from one server to other, like described on http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16713 I belive I have the knowledge to do so, but I'm afraid of possible problems that may occur and that could take some time to solve...

hello I run some FreeBSD 4.11 servers, but since it's losing its support this month, I'd like to migrate to FreeBSD 6.1 I found it's almost impossible to do this migration another way then reinstalling everything, so I'd like to know how you suggest it to be done my main idea is to have another...

is there something compatible with DirectAdmin that can be used to do image verification on E-mails? I don't know the real name of that, but I mean when you want a auto-response to be sent to users not yet authorized to send you E-mail... and they must type a code (read on a image) that will...

does anyone know a way to avoid auto-response loop? I mean, userA sends an E-mail to userB, and both has auto-response so the E-mail dialog is: userA> real message userB> I got your message, thanks! userA> I got your message, thanks! userB> I got your message, thanks! userA> I got your...
